The veteran's claims for service connection for nerve problems, fatigue, and skin rash due to undiagnosed illness have been denied as the conditions are not considered to be related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran's complaints of nerve problems, fatigue, and skin rash were attributable to diagnosed disabilities (dysthymic disorder, chronic fatigue syndrome, eczema and psoriasis) rather than an undiagnosed illness.
